Reading

Put together from what the tradition attributes to each body, sign and house — a portrait to enjoy, not a verdict. The positions beside it are the part that can be checked.

1. ☉ Sun in Libra · house 8

   The drive to be someone in particular, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

   In what is shared: other people's money, intimacy, and endings.

2. ☽ Moon in Libra · house 7

   The need for safety, and the habits that supply it, pursued by weighing it against the alternative, and against other people.

   In partnership — marriage, close alliance, and open opposition.

3. ☿ Mercury in Scorpio · house 9

   The way a mind takes things in and hands them on, pursued quietly, thoroughly, and without showing the working.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

4. ♀ Venus in Sagittarius · house 9

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near, pursued expansively, at the risk of overshooting the mark.

   In long journeys, foreign places, law and belief.

5. ♂ Mars in Scorpio · house 9

   The capacity to want something and go at it, pursued by going all the way in, or not at all.

   In the far world — travel, doctrine, the bigger frame.

6. ♃ Jupiter in Aquarius · house 12

   The appetite for more room than is currently available, pursued at a deliberate distance, on principle more than on feeling.

   In solitude, institutions, and what works on you unseen.

7. ♄ Saturn in Cancer · house 5 ℞

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it, pursued indirectly, and with a long memory for how it went last time.

   In play, romance, children, and anything made for its own sake.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

8. ♅ Uranus in Aquarius · house 12 ℞

   The impulse to break a pattern that still works, pursued by stepping back far enough to see the pattern.

   Behind the scenes, in retreat and in what is undisclosed.

   Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

9. ♆ Neptune in Leo · house 6

   The pull toward what has no edges, pursued generously and in the open, wanting the effort to be seen.

   In daily work, service, and the maintenance of the body.

10. ♇ Pluto in Cancer · house 5 ℞

    What will not be negotiated with, only survived, pursued protectively, approaching sideways rather than head-on.

    In pleasure and in what is created for its own sake.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

11. ☊ True Node in Pisces · house 1 ℞

    The direction a life is pulled toward rather than born into, pursued permeably, absorbing more than is strictly useful.

    In how you meet a room, and what people take you for on sight.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

12. ⚷ Chiron in Pisces · house 1 ℞

    The injury that becomes a competence, pursued by dissolving the edges of the problem.

    In bearing and first impression.

    Retrograde — read as the same principle turned inward.

13. ⚸ Lilith in Taurus · house 2

    What was refused, and refuses in turn, pursued slowly, and with a strong preference for what can be held.

    In what you own, earn, and consider worth having.

The tightest aspects

1. ♂ Mars ◻ ♃ Jupiter · square, orb 0.04°

   The capacity to want something and go at it and the appetite for more room than is currently available obstruct each other.

   The friction is productive only when it is worked at rather than escaped.

2. ♄ Saturn ☌ ♇ Pluto · conjunction, orb 0.14°

   The encounter with limit, and what is built against it and what will not be negotiated with, only survived are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.

   Neither can act without the other coming along.

3. ♀ Venus ☌ MC Midheaven · conjunction, orb 0.35°

   What is found agreeable, and how it is drawn near and the direction a life is aimed in public are fused, and cannot easily be told apart.
